Chiral optical forces in a slot waveguide for separation of molecules in gas
Josep Martínez-Romeu, Daniel Arenas-Ortega, Iago Diez +1
Chiral optical forces present an exciting avenue into the separation of enantiomers in an all-optical fashion. In this work, we explore via numerical simulations and analytical cal…

Optical chiral sorting forces and their manifestation in evanescent waves and nanofibres
Sebastian Golat, Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Iago Diez +3
Optical fields can exert forces of chiral nature on molecules and nanoparticles, which would prove extremely valuable in the separation of enantiomers with pharmaceutical applicati…
